Inspiration’s for amateurs.

“Persistence: we call it getting to know the Muse.”
- Writer E. B. White: “A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word on paper.”
- Painter Chuck Close: “Inspiration is for amateurs–the rest of us just show up and get to work.”
- Composer Peter Tchaikovsky: “A self-respecting artist must not fold his hands on the pretext that he is not in the mood.”
Always true and good reminders. I’ve seen the Chuck Close, but cool to see EB White and Tchaikovsky.
